Howdy, I just got started on a typhoon e build. What looks like Delamination down the center of the fuse bottom is not what it seems in photos. They did a very poor job overlapping the seam.

Nonetheless, this ones getting the latex glove treatment. Plane was masked first, then I uses some tight weave carbon (3oz.?) and a glass veil for the transfer. Transferred perfectly, but I am still concerned with huge canopy... Will lay on some tow beneath it once this cures.

Had the chance to maiden with lucky owner of new plane today, unfortunately no pics of flights, but it was fantastic. I thought this would be boring plane: I had similar wing in my over-powered, and it was boring. Perhaps shorter cord is what makes this one more lively. Either way, we had it dialed in as suggested here: 63mm from fuse to mold line on te of tail, and 86mm from le for cg.

All settings were stolen from regular typhoon instructions, and they were spot on: +7/-5 ail, as much rudder as possible, 10+- on elevator, -2 flaps and -1 ail for camber, flaps all down for landing, ail +7 and elevator -4. I did allow aileron to travel more and have less diff in landing mode, and it stopped so well, that we misjudged landing every time, first 80 feet off, then 40, then 40.

I notice you run an antenna out the rear servo cover. This is how my Futaba antenna exits out the fuse. Other antenna is on other side of fuse, exits behind servos. Receiver is behind CF wing joiner..I may replace these servos with digis..

I am a little reluctant to fly my Typhoon very hard, after the forward fuse failures. Mine is the "carbon " version from SUSA, but all the same, I am just flying mine on 3S for now. My Typhoon fuse doesn't have the reinforcement strips that rumbey has.
I didn't reinforce the nose area, like you did during the build.

Thanks! This was also the carbon version. And just like Jackomister's plane, looked like delam in the cockpit area, but possibly just bad overlap. To do the reinforcement, all you need to do is grind out the motor mount, take your time cleaning, and then buy some good epoxy resin (aeropoxy, mgs, etc.) and some cloth + tow from sollar composites. The reinforcements took about 90 minutes to lay out the cloth, pieces, mix epoxy, apply and inflate. The tow took about 30 min. Of course, each sat in sun box for 1+ days in between. If you need a firewall, send me pm with OD and gearbox mounting pattern, takes me about 2 days to cnc and ship.
